Rachel Helene Of Troy

I think we need to note this milestone in the blog. Two boys, Lucas and Alex, were fighting over Rachel during recess the other day. She says she was kind of embarrassed by it.

Rachel's Take On Traffic

Through no fault of our own, we are often late to Rachel's school. We have to drive 25 miles and over three major highways to get there, but chances are there is going to be a bottleneck somewhere.

We've been told to do whatever we can to get her there on time, but we're truly at the mercy of Atlanta traffic.

Anyway, she got to school 20 minutes later the other day. Her teacher says she entered the room out of breath and gasped, "Sorry I'm late! Traffic was a bear!"

Not The First And It Won't Be The Last...

Sooo...I'm driving Rachel home yesterday and I'm listening to one of her radio stations, because I'm trying to get current with her music.

This song by Far East Movement comes on, "Like A G6."

Doesn't make much sense to me, so I ask, "What are they saying? Like a Cheesestick?" Uncontrollable laughter in the back seat. I start rewriting the song extemporaneously, weaving in marinara and stuff like that. More unstifled giggling.

Good times, good times!

Puppy Love

Apparently, not everyone is hurting in today's society. There was a dog wedding in Atlanta last Saturday and the day before, the bride and groom went to a doggie spa. Really? Really!

So naturally, that started talk in the newsroom about things you'd overhear at a wedding of two dogs. Gee, I wonder who would have initiated that conversation? Anyhow, here is what we came up with:

"You may now sniff the bride's butt"
"I hope they're not hounded by paparazzi"
"With this bone, I thee wed"
"I hear Pucci made her gown"
"Damn, where did I bury the ring?"
"Do you pledge to love, honor, obey, roll over and fetch?"
"You may now kiss the bitch"
"I don't think he'll stray. I bought an invisible fence as a gift"

Not to mention the limousine driving off with the bride's head hanging out one rear window and the groom's head hanging out the other.
